I don’t want to be overconfident, but I absolutely agree. I’m not convinced that KC is our biggest obstacle to a title. This might come down to getting past Baltimore, or even overcoming the physical play of someone like Pittsburgh.
Yeah, some people are talking about our defense melting down, but I can only blame the players so much. We didn’t dial up anything remotely interesting on defense. We handed them yards in exchange for the clock running. Only problem is there’s a lot of time left. That’s a coaching choice.
Nothing but positive things to say about coaches and players today, but this is not championship defensive coaching. This isn’t Mahomes brilliance, this is a soft zone defense, willingly giving up yards.
